You've got that right. Cooley is a very talented individual, alright. "Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money, nobody make britches that size" Perfection.
Saving everybody takes a man on a mission With a swagger that can set the world at ease Some believe it's God's own hand on the trigger And the other dumping water in the streets Drive by Truckers incredible as always 😀
I guess I'll never grow a sideburn It's a shame with all I've got to go between I hope somebody's cause takes soon It's getting hard to find a place a root can sink Mama said a lot of things And "Be thankful" was the one she never minded saying twice Thanks to her I can think clear enough To be thankful that she died before tonight [Chorus] Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping Like they're gonna come through my skin If they could get along without the rest of me It wouldn't matter if they did But skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money Nobody makes britches that size And besides, you're a ghost to most Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide Saving everybody takes a man on a mission With a swagger that can set the world at ease Some believe it's God's own hand on the trigger And the other dumping water in the streets Talking tough's easy when it's other people's evil And you're judging what they do and don't believe It seems to me you'd have to have a hole your own To point a finger at somebody else's sheet [Chorus] Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping Like they're gonna come through my skin If they could get along without the rest of me It wouldn't matter if they did Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money Nobody makes britches that size And besides, you're a ghost to most Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide [Bridge] I don't know how good it does a man To keep on telling him how good it is he's free Free to wash his ghost down the drain And free for them to tell him there's no such a thing Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping Like they're gonna come through my skin If they could get along without the rest of me It wouldn't matter if they did Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money Nobody makes britches that size And besides you're a ghost to most Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide
I remember those days, we had the best toys in the south. I think all boys play war and destroy shit. Then women get involved and usually that tames the wildest of us
You've got that right.
Cooley is a very talented individual, alright.
"Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money, nobody make britches that size"
Perfection.
"And besides you're a ghost to most before they notice that you ever had a hair or hide"
Cooley is a genius, a great poet, his work is magnificent
His masterpiece imo. And that’s saying something because the man is a brilliant songwriter.
One of the most underrated bands in America today. It's a shame but on the other end shhhhhhhh more room for me to get down! Keep on keepin on DBT
Wouldn’t say underated as they are thought of very well by those who are in the know. Under recognized best describes DBT IMO
Saving everybody takes a man on a mission
With a swagger that can set the world at ease
Some believe it's God's own hand on the trigger
And the other dumping water in the streets
Drive by Truckers incredible as always 😀
Still Listenin. That says enough on its own.
A complete genius is Mike Cooley who is in his prime!
Dave cooley is the man
This is indeed where we are going.The song is a masterpiece!
Them ol boys never fail to put out songs that bring tears to My eyes and fill My heart with joy
I’m appalled this song has only gotten 98k views in 15 years. It’s one of my favorite songs.
one of my favorite bands...can never decide if I like the lyrics or music more. does it matter?
One of my favorites
It really is a masterpiece.
When it was still just make-believe. Great video to post on this Decoration Day!
Cooley, Hood, Isbell need to put shit behind. REUNION!
They've all grown older...hopefully wiser. It would be interesting to see if they could make great songs together again.
I guess I'll never grow a sideburn
It's a shame with all I've got to go between
I hope somebody's cause takes soon
It's getting hard to find a place a root can sink
Mama said a lot of things
And "Be thankful" was the one she never minded saying twice
Thanks to her I can think clear enough
To be thankful that she died before tonight
[Chorus]
Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping
Like they're gonna come through my skin
If they could get along without the rest of me
It wouldn't matter if they did
But skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money
Nobody makes britches that size
And besides, you're a ghost to most
Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide
Saving everybody takes a man on a mission
With a swagger that can set the world at ease
Some believe it's God's own hand on the trigger
And the other dumping water in the streets
Talking tough's easy when it's other people's evil
And you're judging what they do and don't believe
It seems to me you'd have to have a hole your own
To point a finger at somebody else's sheet
[Chorus]
Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping
Like they're gonna come through my skin
If they could get along without the rest of me
It wouldn't matter if they did
Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money
Nobody makes britches that size
And besides, you're a ghost to most
Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide
[Bridge]
I don't know how good it does a man
To keep on telling him how good it is he's free
Free to wash his ghost down the drain
And free for them to tell him there's no such a thing
Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping
Like they're gonna come through my skin
If they could get along without the rest of me
It wouldn't matter if they did
Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money
Nobody makes britches that size
And besides you're a ghost to most
Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide
Tnx for the lyrics! Gonna see these guys next month in Des Moines. They always play this song! Timeless and priceless! ♥️❣️😍
@@mspray A Ghost to Most, is one of my favorite DBT songs--Enjoy the Show!
wow brings so much hope & nostalgia at the same time.

Brilliant song by Cooley
Good video : )
Song is tops
J Marts said "One of the most underrated bands in America today."
YES Amen AND HALLELUJAH...WTF is wrong with people
I had to shut it off.....this song is too good for a video.
johnnycanada agreed. Video isn't necessary.
Hard edge with intelligence. DBT are it.
💙💓💙
sounds like van Morrison

💯💯💯🤍⚖️🖤🕊️
Im curious if this one just came too him or if it took a couple weeks to write or if thats all just bs songwriters say about writing
God damn this song is relevant now. #freegaza
Fact...underrated, not under appreciated.
